and crocheted a cozy cloche!

Pattern Nubby Brim Cloche .

My brim is a bit less flared than the one in the pattern...goofed a bit on a couple rows.
It's still a keeper nonetheless!! Just need more crochet practice (oh darn!) :)

Toddler Leggings





Worked up a pair of 4T leggings from this pattern. The fabric is Denim Jegging from the April Johnston Collection. I made one alteration to shorten the length. Next time I will make a size 3T, and shorten the inseam and crotch lengths a tad. Gonna have to make the shirt too. Great basic pieces to build up her wardrobe!!

Sparkly Stripes



Dolman sleeve T-Shirt with self-faced boatneck.
Self drafted. Inexpensive fabric from Hancock's to test pattern with.
Still have to make a few tweaks to the pattern but overall happy :)
